Sean D. Tucker

Patty won the
NATIONAL AEROBATIC CHAMPIONSHIP
in 1991, 1992, and 1993, and is a good friend of Sean Tucker.
The two have also flown together.

Betty Lou and I raising one of the poles

You can see the number ``2'' on her hand, indicating that we're in team 2.
There are three teams, one to hold up each ribbon.

Each pole is 25 feet high; Sean first flies 5 feet off the ground at 250
miles per hour, under the ribbons, and then he loops back around and
turns the plane on its side, so that the fuselage acts as the flying surface.
Here he is flying on his side, cutting the ribbon, as seen by me through
my visualfilter, while I am helping Betty Lou hold up one of the poles.
